Govt & Opposition Spar Over Reports of Over-staffing at JUTC

A row has erupted between the government and the opposition over who’s to be blamed for packing the state-owned bus company, the Jamaica Urban Transit Company, JUTC, with 500 people it doesn’t need.

A senior Cabinet Minister in the current JLP Administration, Delroy Chuck, says politics is the reason why the company employs far more people than it needs. He says the last PNP administration is to be blamed.
